About Samantha

Samantha DeJesus is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Virginia with three years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and questions about parenting. She also supports those facing low self-esteem, motivation problems, and life changes. Samantha lists life purpose among her focus areas and can talk through related doubts and direction questions.

In sessions she uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and shape the conversation around each person's concerns. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and test new behaviors. Samantha aims to make sessions practical so clients leave with specific steps they can try between meetings.

Her work often centers on everyday pressures - juggling responsibilities, handling parenting strain, or managing persistent worry. She addresses feelings of guilt, shame, and isolation alongside core concerns like low mood and confidence. The tone in sessions tends to be straightforward and task-oriented, with time spent on what helps in daily life.

For someone unsure what comes next, Samantha focuses on clarifying small, manageable changes. She and the client set short-term goals and review progress together. That approach is meant to help people notice what shifts and what still feels stuck.

To begin, readers are asked to use the site matching process and schedule a first meeting. Sessions are conducted in English and follow the therapist's stated methods and focus areas.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. In online sessions that can mean the conversation shapes itself around current pressures like parenting, work stress, or feeling stuck about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions often include tracking patterns, setting small experiments, and reviewing results between meetings to change unhelpful routines.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss which methods match the client's goals and preferences, and adjust as progress and needs become clearer. That means sessions may emphasize listening and understanding at first, then move into more CBT-style exercises if that seems useful.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used. Readers should confirm the available formats before booking. Practical benefits often mentioned for online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, shorter check-ins when needed, and skipping travel time. Online meetings can make it easier to keep continuity of care during life changes, while still allowing the therapist to use the same listening and behavioral tools as in-person work.
